CrossFit Fortus
Welcome to CrossFit Fortus! We don't break people down, we build them up.
Fortitudo: physical strength, courage, moral bravery
Virtus: excellence, character, worth
We are a strength & conditioning facility in Tauranga, New Zealand. We defy convention and don't do "normal".
CrossFit Fortus was founded by Kirsten Tulloch and Pup Smith. Highly experienced and motivated coaches with a combined 40 years of experience to invest in those with a genuine desire to get the best out of themselves whether they are athletes or weekend warriors. We teach the way we train. Both Kirsten and Pup are also CrossFit Level 1 Trainers.
We offer group functional conditioning sessions (WOD's) at various times 6 days a week. Our sessions are unconventional and we use kit such as kettlebells, sandbags, War Machine suspension trainers, Battling Ropes, medicine balls, bodyweight exercises, barbell work, sled dragging, car pulling, sledgehammer tyre striking, tyre flipping....we even have a custom built monkey bar station! Our goal in these sessions is to get your entire body moving and working as a unit. We incorporate flexibility and mobility work into each session to help you to move freely and with ease as our bodies are designed to before sedentary jobs and one dimensional training got in the way.
We are also available for private one to one PT, corporate sessions, private groups and sports teams.
We also host some of the worlds top strength & conditioning coaches to teach seminars, workshops and certifications. These events are for fitness professionals and weekend warriors keen to learn from the best in the world and take their own training to another level. We welcome anyone who is keen to learn. Please see our Events tab for upcoming events.
We pride ourselves on offering what we call "semi personal training". Our members are guaranteed time and attention from skilled coaches who ensure you do not just have a blast and leave in a sweaty mess, but that you do so in a skilled, safe and effective manner. We are technique freaks and we invest time making sure that everyone does everything correctly. Keeping our groups small allows us to do this so that our members gain skills and with it confidence in their own abilities.
We are a gym with a difference....we teach skills. Whether you train with us solely or train at another gym and come to us once or twice a week for conditioning or for one of our specialised courses, we aim to be your missing link. We know that training with us will propel your training, skills and body awareness to a whole new level.
Come and join our unconventional family :-)
CrossFit Fortus.......we are one.
